VIM. NJ. Lyle has made big addition to

Our town is blessed with good looking,
brand new feather renovater, who is doing a
good business III that line.
Miss Kiltie Burnett, who has been batter
ing down the walls of ignorance at Mattawan
during the past year. is home on vacation.
John Hogmire of Arlington, was the lucky
chap 10 capture the pair of shoes that was
! given away by Il. w. Broughton last Satur-
day.
Henry Young, our imported cat doctor.
| performed very successful operation on a
litter of young kits last week, with no bad
results
Abner Dolbee has brood mare thirty-four
years old, that has brought him foal each
year for the last ten years. Who can beat
her record:
Madison Orr, who has worked Wilson
Lees place for the past two years, will pack
his satchel this fall and move TO Grundy
county, Iowa.
Kate Carey, by Dauntless, another Van
Buren, county horse, got TO the front in
three straight heats in a trotting race at Den
yer, Col, last week.

Lake Park stands second to none.
Geo. Wilson and wife of Waverly, were out

fifty dollar bill.
Alb. Grout has 1872 acres of land, Hank
Halsted has eghty-five acres, and both use
the highways as pasture lot. We should
think men of property would leave such pas
turage for the poor widow who has no pas
ture of her own and give her chance to
! live.
There are lot of boys in the Lee district
who get together every Sunday and play ball.
We have a statute against such things and /,

He is a married man and kept coaxing her
to ride out with him, which she as often re-
fused. The other day he made another ven
ture, when she told him her big brother

Ned Hilton has bought a very fine stallion
for the improvement of our already good
horses, which he purchased at Flint, Michi-
gan. He is not little Kentucky colt, spav-
